<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Accteam, post: 137371, member: 5816&quot;]Hello,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My son and I were metal detecting in this area where we found the following items. About 23 or so musket balls, 8 military buttons, 1830 5 cent piece and ( the 1803 European piece in question ). The PICs are not that great but for people who are familiar with this kind of coin, it should not be a problem.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I could only make out some of the words. Starting on the front...on the right side, along the edge it reads:</p><p>DEI . GR</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2828/1803front1np.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/9246/1803back4om.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; On the back of coin...I cant make out words. I might be hard to see in pic but there is what looks like a kings crown in the center of coin and its ontop of what looks like a shield. On the inside of the shield, there are 4 small icons/images. Each corner/section of the shield, gets one of the images.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; My son was the one who found this piece and he is very interested in finding out what it is. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help us out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>Jon[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
